Dr. Frank is a great prof. He really cares about his students and the class. A great thing is that he is not a very tough grader, so you don't need to feel much pressure in his class. Do the work (very manageable load) come to class and participate and I'm sure you'll get a very good grade. Only negative is that his feedback doesn't cut too deep.

Dr. Frank is absolutely the best professor/instructor I've ever met at UCSB. The class is fun and includes lots of interesting assignments and projects. Would take it again for sure. Highly recommended.

Amazing professor! I am not a strong writer and was dreading this class as I worried it would be difficult. I was completely proven wrong! He provides very in depth and encouraging feedback. The course topics were flexible which allowed you to pursue topics that interest you! I left the class with so much more confidence and great writing skills.

Please take him!! He is the best professor I have ever met. Caring, thoughtful, inspirational, knowledgable... He is a perfect professor and I had a wonderful summer session with him. He is lenient about the deadlines and attendance, but please attend because he encourages a lot of group collaborations and inspires you a lot.
